          DASV: Mark 5    

1 They came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the
Gerasenes.
2 When he was getting out of the boat, immediately a man
with an unclean spirit met him having come out of the tombs.
3 He lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him, not even
with chains.
4 He often had been bound with shackles and chains, but he had
ripped the chains apart, and broke the shackles in pieces.
No one was strong enough to control him.
5 Every day and night, in the tombs and in the mountains, he
was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell down before
him.
7 He cried out with a scream, "What have I to do with you, Jesus,
you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment
me."
8 For Jesus said to him, "Come out of this man you unclean spirit."
9 He asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion,
for we are many."
10 He intensely begged Jesus not to send them out of the region.
11 Now there was on the mountain side a great herd of pigs feeding.
12 They begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may
go into them."
13 So he granted them permission. The unclean spirits came out,
and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank
into the sea, about two thousand drowned in the sea.
14 Then they that fed them fled, and reported it in the town and in
that region. They came out to see what had happened.
15 They came to Jesus and saw the one who was possessed with
demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind. It was he who
had the legion, and they were afraid.
16 So the ones who had seen it told them what had happened
to the one who was possessed by the demons, and about the pigs.
17 Then they urged him to leave their region.
18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, he who had been
possessed by the demons begged to go with him.
19 But Jesus would not permit him to, but said to him, "Go to
your house to your friends, and tell them what great things
the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."
20 So he went his way, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis
what great things Jesus had done for him, and all the people
were amazed.

21 When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other
side, a great crowd gathered around him, and he was by the sea.
22 Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus,
and seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet,
23 urgently requesting him, saying, "My little daughter is at
the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, that she
may be healed and live."
24 Then Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed him, and
they pressed in all around him.

25 Now there was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years,
26 and had suffered many things at the hands of many doctors.
She had spent all that she had, and was not any better, but
even grew worse.
27 After hearing the things about Jesus, she came up behind him
in the crowd, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, "If I can just touch his garments, I will be
healed."
29 Immediately her bleeding stopped; and she felt in her body
that she was healed of her disease.
30 Immediately, Jesus, realizing that the power had gone out from
him, turned around in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 His disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing in on
you, and yet you still ask, 'Who touched me?'"
32 But he looked around to see who had done this.
33 Then the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done
to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you whole.
Go in peace, and be healed of your disease."

35 While he was still speaking some people came from the synagogue
ruler's house announcing, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother
the Teacher any longer?"
36 But Jesus, ignoring what had just been spoken, said
to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."
37 He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James,
and John the brother of James.

38 When they arrived at the house of the synagogue ruler, he
saw all the commotion, with many weeping and loudly wailing.
39 When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make
such a commotion, and weep? The child is not dead, but only
asleep."
40 Then they scornfully laughed at him. But he, having put
them all out, took the child's father and mother and those
who were with him, and went in to where the child was.
41 Then taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha
koum" which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, Arise."
42 Immediately the girl got up, and walked, for she was twelve
years old. They were absolutely amazed.
43 Then he sternly ordered them that no one should know about
this, after which he requested that they give her something
to eat.
